I wont blabber on her for ages boring you half to death but if youíre looking for ways in which to destroy and take over your enemies then I suggest you visit Understanding Your Enemy so Iíll just get straight down to the cheats and tipsÖ

Cheats:

I know one cheat that only works with version 1.00. (Itís really a bug!). At the start of the game, go to the edge of the map, and TRY to build a tunnel from one end of the map to the other. This is really potluck because you have to make sure the land goes right, all the way from one end of the map to the other. And instead of telling you: It gives you £400,000,801!

Using scenario editor - you can use the scenario editor to edit your saved games. Simply rename the game from WHATEVER.SV1 to WHATEVER.SV0. Then fire up TT, open the scenario editor, and load in your game. You can now build/delete new towns create and destroy large areas of land, build/destroy industries, and more without costing you a single dime! While you are doing that, your vehicles still run, yielding money that is added to your account. However, as far as the game is concerned, the date is frozen. When you are done fiddling, exit to DOS and rename the file back to WHATEVER.SV1.

One note of caution, because the game wasn't designed to do this, odd things CAN happen. For instance, if you delete a town, the roads and town sign will be deleted, but the buildings will remain. The buildings will then be a part of the nearest town. This looks rather odd, and you can't undo it. So, it may be wise to make a backup of your game while doing this just in case something odd happens. This and things like this donít ALWAYS happen.

Editing the scenarios on the TTD CD-ROM - The TT Deluxe CD-ROM comes with several pre-built scenarios. TTD won't let you load these into the Scenario Editor, but you actually can. First, find the scenario you're interested in on the CD. They have a WHATEVER.SS0 (for scenarios) or a WHATEVER.SS1 (for saved games) extension. Use a file viewer or hex editor to read the files. The scenario's name is the first thing stored in the file. Pick out the one you want and copy it to your TTD directory. Rename the file so it will have a WHATEVER.SV0 extension. Now, when you fire up TT's scenario editor, you'll be able to load and edit the scenario.
